Rizzoli and Isles are the property of TNT and Tess Gerritson. I am just borrowing them for a little fun. Please review and being your author a little pleasure in life.

Jane looked over her shoulder to where Edward and Rebecca stood on the tarmac. Maura was speaking with Rebecca. She set her bags down for the gentlemen in the black Khakis to load onto the Falcon 300EX Exterior, Rebecca's private jet. Jane still couldn't believe how she had agreed to this trip to the Gulf Coast with Maura, but she had at the last minute. Jane stood from bending over feeling a slight hitch where the surgery on her lung had been done. She placed her hand over the scar closing her eyes reliving the hell of the last few months. The shock, fear, over riding pain, desolation, and grinding loneliness came back as scenes from the warehouse, Cavanaugh's office, and the long days before Maura's arrival at Rebecca's ranch reasserted themselves into her mind. Suddenly, a soft hand wrapped around her gently turning her into the sunlight.

"Still hurts?" Maura caught a glimpse of Jane's face. "Jane? You okay?" Jane blinked closing her eyes for a moment allowing all that was haunting her to be replaced by memories of the days with Maura on Rebecca's ranch and the wedding. She would not let the past spoil her future. Not anymore. She opened her eyes to find a concerned Maura gazing at her.

"Yeah, just…time catching up with me." Maura pulled her into a hug.

"Don't worry. It will fade with time and the rest that doesn't we will deal with love." Jane nodded into Maura's shoulder.

"Let me say goodbye to Edward and Rebecca. " When Jane's head rose the warriors mask was firmly in place. Maura just shook her head and smiled. She had time to draw out the Jane she loved later. Jane let go of Maura and moved to the waiting couple.

"Thank you for everything. I am forever in your debt my friend." Jane hugged Rebecca close while Maura shook hugged Edward.

"Never in debt, with friends there is no talk of debt. We are equals Jane. Call if you need me." Rebecca kissed her softly on the cheek pulling back and catching her eyes. A lifetime of memories was exchanged in that one moment. "Take care of Maura. Let her be your strength and passion." Jane nodded and went to Edward next.

"Thank you for all you have done." Edward gathered her into a bear hug. Jane whispered into his ear, "Care for her Edward. Never give up on her."

"I won't Jane. Thank you for making my dreams real." Edward released the detective as Rebecca ended the soft kiss to Maura's lips.

"Hey now, that's my lady you're kissing Rebecca." Rebecca and Maura snickered. "Take care both of you. If Maura and I get time off ever again we will come for a visit." Edward and Rebecca watched as they walked to jet. The jet taxied for take-off and was soon gone.

"Come on love; let's get back to the ranch." Edward said as he hugged Rebecca.

"How about we don't go back?" Rebecca said as she wrapped her arms around her husband. How about we sneak off to Uvalde and the river? Just you and I for a week I am sure Jake can take care of the ranch."

Edward pretended to consider it and then smiled, "Yes, I would love that." The couple walked arm and arm toward the King Ranch Edition Truck waiting nearby. Rebecca looked back one last time where the jet had disappeared and smiled. She truly hoped Maura took her advice. Forty Thousand feet above Texas Maura had Jane trapped on the bed aboard the Falcon.

"Maura, now Maura we can wait…" Maura deftly removed Jane's shirt running a wet, pink tongue along Jane's pulse point on her neck.

"I am done waiting detective." A soft moan issued from Jane's lips as she attempted to catch her breath.

"You're mine now." Maura deftly unhooked Jane's bra and sent it flying. It caught on the bottle of Champaign that rested in the nearby bucket of ice. Maura then grabbed an erect pink nipple in her teeth gently pulling and then sucking it in deeply rolling her tongue around the areola. She released it with a soft pop causing Jane to buck.

"Let me introduce you to the mile high club." Jane felt her pants being removed and feeling of Maura's naked body coming to rest on top of her as she straddled the detective. The sounds of moans, gasps, and pleasurable cries soon filled the cabin.

"This is your Captain. We have reached our cruising altitude of forty thousand feet and expect to land at Corpus Christi Airport in one hour. If there is anything we can do to make your flight more pleasurable please let us know."
